Lily of the Valley Orphanages:
Bizzimom Planners “Charity of Choice”
( A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the Lily of the Valley Orphanages)

It is my heartfelt belief that God never intended for children to have to grow up in poverty, abuse and suffering. In many regions of the world this is a commonality.

Every child is precious and deserves to be given the basic necessities of shelter, food, and love. The vision of Lily of the Valley is to rescue children from desperate situations and bring them into their home to be loved, nurtured and fed both physically and spiritually.

In 1988, John and Marie Sorrentino found themselves in San Diego, California, only minutes from the Mexican border. At the time they were pastoring a church.

After several visits to the impoverished neighborhoods in Tijuana where little children were living in the most severely inhumane conditions, John and Marie knew that Lord had told then that the time was right to begin to do something.

There are literally thousands of abandoned children that run the streets struggling somehow to survive by begging, stealing, and working in conditions many times worse than slavery. Some of these children live in garbage dumps often without their parents. Rampant sexual abuse, emotional trauma and hunger are not uncommon here.

Through an incredible series of miracles, the Lily of the Valley Orphanage started with 11 children in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico.

Since that time, Lily of the Valley has grown and flourished with the blessing of the Lord. They now operate two orphanages - one in Tijuana and one in Chihuahua. Hundreds of destitute, hopeless little children from the streets and dumps of Mexico have been healed and saved.

I have personally met this precious couple and wholeheartedly support them in all that they do everyday. The stories and testimonials they have shared through the years make me cry~ every time!
